Plant
Stress

Turns leaves yellow.

1400 years ago people didn't know that water
affects the color of leaves. Today we know that
too much water or too little water can turn
leaves yellow.

Leaf yellowing is often one of the first symptoms of plant stress. If the stress causing condition is not alleviated, yellow leaves may turn brown. A prolonged period of environmental stress causes overall stunting and poor growth. Noticing the pattern and progression of symptoms will help to diagnose the cause of the problem...

DroughtPlants wilt and leaves curl when roots are unable to supply sufficient moisture to the stems and leaves. Wilting for short periods of time does not harm plants. Sometimes a plant wilts on a hot day because moisture is evaporating from the leaves faster than the roots can supply it. If there is ample soil moisture, the plant will absorb water in the evening to firm up the stems and leaves. Over a prolonged period, however, drought will cause serious damage, such as
yellowing, leaf scorch, browning, or
leaf drop and stunted growth. Extended periods of drought also inhibit flower formation. Severe heat and water stress when a plant is in bloom may cause scorching or browning of flower buds and blossoms. Plants vary in their ability to tolerate drought and some may die suddenly after extended periods of drought.

Excess Water
Problems with excess water can result from poorly drained soil or overwatering. Excess water reduces oxygen in the soil, which damages fine roots and renders the plant unable to take up water. Plants exposed to excess moisture show the same symptoms as plants under drought stress. The primary symptom of excess moisture is wilting or
yellowing of lower and inner leaves. If excess water continues, plants may show other drought symptoms, such as scorch,
leaf drop, and/ or plant
death. University Of

Water is related to the yellowing of
leaves. This was known recently, however this
was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it
was discovered.

[Quran 39:21] Have you not considered how Allah sends down
water from the sky, then He makes it flow into underground wells, then He produces with it plants of various colors, then they wither and you see them
yellowing, then He turns them into debris? Surely in this is a reminder for those with understanding.

Here water is related to the yellowing of
leaves. Today we know that too much water or too
little water can turn leaves yellow.

"Wind-burn"
is when wind accelerates the evaporation of
water from the leaves, mimicking drought.

Wind-burned leaves are often curved under and form
"claws." They can look like they're droopy from overwatering,
underwatering, or possible a nitrogen toxicity, but you know you've got wind-burn when the leaves in front of the fan are clawing, and leaves further away from the fan look fine.GrowWeedEasy,

Wind can increase the evaporation of
water in the leaves mimicking underwatering and
causing the leaves to turn yellow. This was
known recently, however this
was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it
was discovered.

[Quran 30:51]
But if We send a wind, and they see it turning things
yellow, they would continue thereafter to disbelieve.

Here wind is causing leaves to turn yellow.
Today we know why, wind accelerates the
evaporation of water causing the leaves to turn
yellow.

How could an illiterate man who lived
1400 years ago have known that water and wind
are related
to the yellowing of leaves?

To Christians

[Quran 42.14-15]
They only disbanded after they received knowledge (of their Bible) fallaciously among them. And if it were not a word from your Lord [Allah] that postponed it to a later date, it would have been all settled among them then. And those who inherited the Book (the Bible) from them are in great suspicion of it. Therefore call them (to the Quran) and straighten your ways as you are ordered and don't follow their passions and say: "I believe in what Allah revealed of the Book (The Quran) and I was ordered to be just among you (both Christians and Jews); Allah is our Lord and your Lord, we have our actions and you have your actions, no argument between us and you, Allah brings us together and to Him we are (all) destined."

To Muslims

[Quran 6.108]
Do not curse those who call (to worship) other than Allah, so that they don't curse Allah out of spite and ignorance. This is how We [Allah] appealed to each people its own actions; then they will be brought back to their Lord [Allah] who will inform them of what they have been doing.
